SCIPCV 2011 - 3rd Workshop on Soft Computing in Image Processing and Computer Vision (SCIPCV)

Vision in general and images in particular have always played an important and essential role in human life. In the past they were, today they are, and in the future they will continue to be one of our most important information carriers. Nowadays, image processing and computer vision have numerous commercial, scientific, industrial and military applications. All these applications result from the interaction between fundamental scientific research on the one hand, and the development of new and high-standard technology on the other hand.

In order to cope with the variety of image processing and computer vision challenges, several techniques have been introduced and developed, quite often with great success. Among the different techniques that are currently in use, we also encounter soft computing techniques. Soft Computing is an emerging field that consists of complementary elements of fuzzy logic, neural computing, evolutionary computation, machine learning and probabilistic reasoning, and often offers solutions where conventional approaches fail.

The 3rd Workshop on Soft Computing in Image Processing and Computer Vision (SCIPCV) aims to provide a forum for current state-of-the-art approaches of soft computing techniques in image processing, computer vision and related applications.

High quality submissions are sought; topics include, but are not limited to, soft computing approaches such as
fuzzy logic
neural networks
evolutionary computing
rough sets
swarm intelligence
etc.
in/for
image analysis: edge detection, segmentation, pattern recognition, object recognition, interpretation
image enhancement: filtering, noise removal, enhancement, restoration
image compression
image reconstruction
image similarity and image retrieval
satellite image processing
medical image processing
mathematical morphology
wavelets
video processing and retrieval
image formation and physics based vision
3-d processing
shape-from-X
scene understanding
etc.
Authors of high quality papers relevant to medical image analysis will be invited to extend their work for a chapter in an edited book in Springer's Studies in Computational Intelligence series.
